Belmont Stakes Trophy
  The
Belmont Stakes trophy is a Tiffany-made silver bowl, 18 inches
high, 15 inches across and 14 inches at the base.
Atop the
cover is a silver figure of Fenian, winner of the third running
of the Belmont Stakes in 1869.
The bowl
is supported by three horses representing the three foundation
thoroughbreds -- Eclipse, Herod and Matchem. The trophy, a solid
silver bowl originally crafted by Tiffany's, was presented by
the Belmont family as a perpetual award for the Belmont Stakes
in 1926. It was the trophy August Belmont's Fenian won in 1869
and had remained with the Belmont family since that time. The
winning owner is given the option of keeping the trophy for the
year their horse reigns as Belmont champion. The owner of the
winner of the Belmont Stakes also receives, permanently, a large
silver tray with the names of the previous Belmont winners
engraved on it. There are also trays for the winning trainer,
jockey and exercise rider as well as mementos for the groom.
